I did a rare thing earlier this week in picking against our Phoenix Suns, predicting they would lose a close game to the Los Angeles Lakers. I am happy to have been very wrong. The Suns got hot Thursday night, and the result was an emphatic and much-needed win to restore a little bit of stability and confidence to this team.
Game Flow
First Half
The Suns began the game firing away from downtown. They started the contest shooting 5/8 from three-point range, with the Lakers playing very lackadaisical defense for the most part.
